Why do people think that when I answer the phone I am sleep? Do I sound that bad? No, I'm just very focused on what I'm doing when they call. I may be working on the computer or even watching TV. The point is I am alone and by myself. What are they expecting? How should I sound?
Then when I tell them no I'm not sleep, they say "it sounds like you're sleep."

No.....I always sound like this if you would take notice. Now sometimes I am sleep, but not always.
What happens is that it is very quiet in our apartment because it is just me here during the day. My husband works 10-12 hour days so some days I go without saying or speaking a word until he comes home.
There's no one else here. I am by myself. It's just me.....hello?
Then I have to sit there on the phone and explain to them why I sound the way I do. What does it matter? Just say what you called to say and leave it at that.
Even my daughter always asks if I am sleep. I don't mind explaining to her because she understands. She knows me because there are times when she calls and I am sleep. But the other people that call, they don't call me enough to warrant asking me that question.
It didn't used to bother me but recently I just got tired of it and was wondering why people when they call ask me if I am sleep. I am a quiet person. I have no reason for loud noise or excitement on a daily basis.
My point here is that if you spend all day by yourself with no one to talk to or speak to, what is expected when someone does finally call? Am I suppose to be sitting by the phone waiting for it to ring? Again what am I suppose to sound like?
Anyway, I love my peace and quiet. And many people do not have the opportunity I have to just be. I treasure my quietness but even for me I wish I had someone to talk to sometime.
